FAQ for Job Seekers:
Q: What is Jobspresso?
A: Jobspresso is an online platform dedicated to connecting talented people who seek remote careers with innovative, forward-thinking companies that offer these positions. Job listings are curated, reviewed and added on a daily basis. Follow us on Twitter to stay in touch!
Q: Remote careers? How is that different from traditional careers?
A: Most careers at traditional companies require you to be physically located in their office while working. A remote career, on the other hand, offers you the flexibility to work from anywhere in the world. Some companies may ask for minimal on-site time for team-building, training, etc. while others may require you to be in a certain timezone, but for the most part you can work from anywhere you like.
Q: What are some benefits of working remotely?
A: There are so many reasons why remote careers rock, and here are just a few:
- You can live and work from anywhere in the world! 🙂
- You can ditch your daily commute, which for the average American is 50+ minutes a day
- You can save thousands of dollars a year on gas, public transit, automotive insurance costs, etc.
- You can earn a higher salary. For example, Software Developers who work remotely full-time earn about 40% more than those who don’t
- You can work for interesting and innovative companies that may not have physical presence in your city, for example Mozilla (Firefox), Buffer, Automattic (WordPress), etc.
- You can work in a more creative environment, whether it is your favorite local coffee shop, a co-working space in your city, or just your own home office
- You will likely have flexibility over your work hours. Never miss your kids’ soccer game or dance recital again.
Q: There are many scams out there related to work from home careers. How do I know if a job is legitimate?

Q: I have never hired remote workers before. What are some benefits of doing this?
A: Hiring remotely has many benefits, for both employers and employees. Here are just a few of the benefits for employers:
- You can hire the best people, wherever they are. Smart employers know the value of hiring the brightest people, and are always competing for them. Hiring the top local talent can be both difficult and expensive because of this intense competition. By widening your net and looking beyond your geographical area, we believe you can find a whole new world of talented people who can help you reach your business goals.
- You can get happier employees and achieve better morale, which makes employees more likely to stay with your company
- Happier employees translate into better employer reputation, which in turn can lead into more great hires!
- You can take advantage of timezone differences, as work can go on 24/7 in different parts of the world, leading to critical work getting done faster
- You can achieve better productivity, as workers do not have to go through time-consuming and energy-draining commutes, and can break up their workday in a way that maximizes their energy levels
- You can save on office rental and maintenance costs, due to lower real-estate requirements
Q: Where are the candidates located?
A: Currently, about 65% of the site’s traffic comes from job seekers in the U.S, followed by 5% from Canada, 5% from the United Kingdom, and the remainder 25% from countries like Germany, France, Brazil, India, and Australia.
Q: What kind of response to my job listing can I expect?
A: There are many factors that can affect the type of response you’ll get: Are you looking for a niche or popular skill set? Does your company have a remote-friendly culture? What type of compensation are you offering? Are you creating an impressive product? Remember to mention things that will attract applicants in your listing. Depending on these factors, on average you can expect to receive anywhere from dozens to hundreds of applicants for your job posting.
Q: Can I edit my job posting after it goes online?
A: Absolutely! Just log in and browse to Employers –> Manage Jobs to edit your job posting. This is also where you can find a list of all candidates who have applied to your job, including their resume, cover letter, contact information, etc.
